Machine learning inference, video processing, and edge networking workloads are built on ultra-reliable data transfer capabilities, be it on chip between memory and logic elements or off chip to peripherals or other devices. Requirements vary by application and even function, making flexibility in processing performance and power consumption, memory operations, and interconnect support foundational to the success of any embedded edge system.

Lattice Semiconductor revealed its Lattice Avant, a new FPGA platform with 2.5X lower power, 2X faster throughput at lower power, connectivity with configurable SERDES up to 25 Gbps, PCIe Gen 4, high performance I/O including memory interface support for LPDDR4 and DDR5, software support leveraging existing Lattice software solutions, and in a 6X smaller package size.

The 5G standard seems to be working through the embedded industry at a snail’s pace when you compare it to other aspects of our technology sector. Why is that, and what do you do about it if you’re a design engineer?

The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) is welcoming Lattice Semiconductor as the latest member of its network of leading industrial automation vendors, system integrators and end users. This new collaboration will help advance interconnected industrial automation applications, enhancing their efficiency, security and safety and benefitting manufacturing industries worldwide.

FPGAs are a great tool to expedite the development of embedded systems, particularly IoT Edge devices. In most cases, those FPGAs for the basis of both the hardware and the programming model for the application.

Winners have been chosen based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points).

The CertusPro™-NX family of low-power general purpose FPGAs featuring 10G SerDes, LPDDR4 memory interface support and up to 100k logic cells can be used in a wide range of applications across multiple markets.
